Canned crap is emergency food for me. When the time comes to eat this stuff if will be time to remember to save that last cartridge for ending my misery.
You can afford to eat well but eating crap is easy. |

I got a box of Premium saltines a while back that were all like 2 inches shorter than they used to be. I thought it was shrinkflation, but the weight on the outside of the box hadn't changed, and the next box I bought was back to regular size, so I'm going with "bad can" if the weight didn't change on the packaging. |

was looking at photos of older cans and was still seeing 4.6 oz net weight so was hard to figure out how they shrank it and kept the weight the same. figured they added more broth .
today I decided to look at nutritional facts. seeing cans with 190 and 170 calorie values while the cans I have in possession are 160 calories.  Attached Filethats around a 15% shrinkage in the same size can with the same weight.

I noticed the smaller Vienna's back during the scamdemic. I used to get them at work. I guess if there are any normal size out there, they are old.
With tuna fish, they went to smaller cans and a price increase. I'd rather they went up on price. The thing I don't understand about shrinkflation, is how they get chickens to lay smaller eggs. That's some next level stuff. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The thing I don't understand about shrinkflation, is how they get chickens to lay smaller eggs. That's some next level stuff. I would guess that they always laid eggs of all sizes but that the smaller eggs were shunted off to food services at a discount while the larger eggs were sold at a premium in retail. now, they are pushing smaller eggs in retail at higher retail prices, and not the discounted food services prices. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Back in the 90's there was a kind of general store/gas station outside of Durbin WV that had the largest selection of Vienna sausages I've ever seen. I guess there were a lot of different flavored/sauced ones back then. There were literally hundreds of cans lining the shelf. And that's before you got to the potted meat and Spam aisle. I think they were a staple food around that area because no matter where you were, there was always an empty can laying on the ground nearby. good target for 22s. I pick them up and throw away afterwards |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Crack the lid slightly and place the can directly into the coals. When all of the juice is boiled out remove the can from the fire and enjoy. They brown extremely well in their own juices. the plastic lined can gives you a nice bph dose. don't miss any cancer screens |
